I will cheer for him when they introduce him and when he touches the puck for the first time

Honestly, not including my free candy comment, did he kind of screw us over, yes he did. But professional sports is a business, and he did is no different what hundreds of other players have already done.

Remember this, he was great for us and helped push us to the Cup Finals and helped give us that special run last year. That alone deserve a cheer.

Now after cheering him that first time, i will boo him, because common you have to boooooo him

Just because you are entitled to do as you please, doesn't mean that you won't look like an idiot for doing it, though.

Let's see: he's a zillionaire, has pictures all over the internet of him and his hot babe, is having a great season on a great team, and has a very good chance of winning a Cup. And then, next year, for his encore he'll sign a deal somewhere paying him $9million/yr.

Yeah, you booing him is really going to hurt him a lot.

There you go calling someone an idiot again. I swear you have become the biggest ahole on here in that regard. The ratio between you using the word "idiot" and the second worst offender has got to be 30:1. You just try to be sneaky and use the word in "general" sense. I think someone should talk to you about that.

Go be nice to a Red Wing and make sure he has a pleasant time playing in Pittsburgh. Your stance on this is laughable. I think the whole Red Wings team should be boo'ed, just because they're the enemy.

And what's with the "let's see" BS. Holy moly, do you worship the guy like a 9 year old?

Had he not strung the fans along into thinking he would have stayed, then I wouldn't boo him.

What he did reminds me of when you're dating someone and they leave you for someone else that's "hotter." Hossa (being the girl) strung along her boyfriend (the Pens and the fans) with enough to make you think she (Hossa) will fall in love with the boyfriend (the Pens and the fans). When a hotter looking guy came along (the Redwings), she (Hossa) ditched her boyfriend (the Pens and the fans) for a chance at something more she (Hossa) was attracted to.

I hope the Wing Dings get knocked out of the playoffs and we win the cup.

I'm not bitter toward Hossa just toward how he handled everything. Just come out and say you're going to test free agency and want to go to the best team available.
